I know exactly what you are talking about. I am single and live alone so it is very difficult to cook for just one without having leftover food. I just purchased a food saver so I can freeze my leftover meals.
Normally I make something and get 3-4 meals out of it so dinner, lunch, dinner, lunch. In your case maybe Dinner then lunch, lunch and more lunch. If i make something I don't want to freeze or eat 4 times in a row then I have people at work who are more then willing to eat what is left over. I do enjoy going to work and sending out an email in the morning letting everyone know free food in the kitchen, never had a complaint and always get thanked.
As for people who donate food I tried that when I worked at a bagel joint. We made fresh bagels every day starting very early morning and throughout the day and we just ended up giving away or tossing the bagels out (some just hours old) when we offered the leftover bagels to the local homeless kitchen they said no thanks that they rather have cash donations. So if you want a good deal on fresh bagels go to the local shop just before closing, we would do buy 1 dozen get another dozen free.
